EDZ649. Like your SL600. What are these like on service costs & fuel consumption best, worst, average?? I may have a chance of an SL60 next year, but would consider a V12.
Thanks. Average about 15-16 MPG but can squeeze 25 on a run at a half decent cruising speed. Servicing costs don't need to be mega, especially if you take it to an indie, however it does take 10 litres of oil! You will get slightly better MPH from the 6.0 V8 but only 20ish so not a lot in it really.
Lets face it, if your worried about running costs then you don't buy a V12 or a V8 for that matter![]()

You know SL60s are very rare, and SL73s ultra-rare (only 85 made, all LHD)?I'll buy something to run through to April then try an SL73, SL600 or SL60.
Many thanks. I prefer to know the approx costs to put in the budgets, also I'd rather pay more for petrol and servicing than witter it away with depreciation!!!
My current SL320 has done 94k miles, had it from new and it has only had one main battery, gearbox oil cooler pipe and both UV joints on top of standard servicing. I'm completely sold on the MB's buid quality and reliability up to 95/96, cars I've had post this period in my opinion couldn't hold a candle to the earlier cars. I've advertised my SL so if it goes then I'll buy something to run through to April then try an SL73, SL600 or SL60.

Good luck with the searchYes, appreciate they are rare but I'm happy to look through pages and pages online to find something by March April next year, I've looked already and, yes there are few cars that have the right provenance. I'm in no rush.
Can Anyone recommend where the best place to get a new soft top (supply & fit) for my SL 300 1987 R107 please??? I am in London but will travel if necessary for the right price/quality!! Cheers, Mick.
